I Can't Explain (not updating)

Chapter 7

Recap: Melissa and Trey met at the movies and basically they hit it off

Melissa

Melissa can't believe her weekend went by that fast. It felt like yesterday was Friday but sadly it was Monday. The weekend was good because she got see Mr. Neverson at the movies. Jessica couldn't stop talking about Forrest. I mean if it wasn't Forrest it would be something towards him. I'm happy for my friend but I'm nervous because usually she falls for quickly and they break her heat. Hopefully Forrest is different and won't do that.

I need to get ready for school

Melissa gets ready school and is heading down the stairs.

Good morning everyone

"Morning sweetie." Her dad said

"Morning Hun." Her dad said

"So what you did this weekend." Mom said

"Um nothing just hung out with Jessica and Gabby, and went to the movies."

"Oh ok well glad you had fun." Dad said.

"Well I'm head out. Bye mom! Bye dad!"

"Bye sweetie." They said

Melissa drove to her school and was blasting Crooked Smile by J. Cole. Every time I heard this song it made me smile because the words speak to me.

[TLC:]
Even though I...

[Chorus 1: TLC]
On my way, on my way, on my way down
On my way, on my way, on my way down
You're the one that was tryna keep me way down
But like the sun, know you know I found my way back 'round

[J. Cole:]
They tell me I should fix my grill cause I got money now
I ain't gon' sit around and front like I ain't thought about it
A perfect smile is more appealing but it's funny how
My shit is crooked look at how far I done got without it
I keep my twisted grill, just to show the kids it's real
We ain't picture perfect but we worth the picture still
I got smart, I got rich, and I got bitches still
And they all look my eyebrows: thick as hell
Love yourself, girl, or nobody will
Though you're a woman, I don't know how you deal
With all the pressure to look impressive and go out in heels; I feel for you
Killing yourself to find a man that'll kill for you
You wake up, put makeup on, stare in the mirror
But it's clear that you can't face what's wrong; no need to fix
What God already put his paint brush on; your roommate yelling
"Why you gotta take so long?" What it's like to have a crooked smile
This crooked smile

[Chorus 1]

[J. Cole:]
To all the women with the flaws, know it's hard my darling
You wonder why you're lonely and your man's not calling
You keep falling victim cause you're insecure
And when I tell you that you're beautiful you can't be sure
Cause he don't seem to want you back and it's got you asking
So all you see is what you lacking, not what you packing
Take it from a man that loves what you got
And baby girl you're a star, don't let 'em tell you you're not
Now is it real? Eyebrows, fingernails, hair
Is it real? if it's not, girl you don't care
Cause what's real is something that the eyes can't see
That the hands can't touch, that them broads can't be, and that's you
Never let 'em see you frown
And if you need a friend to pick you up, I'll be around
And we can ride with the windows down, the music loud
I can tell you ain't laughed in a while, but I wanna see that crooked smile

[Chorus 1]

[Chorus 2: J. Cole (TLC)]
Crooked smile, we could style on 'em (back 'round)
Crooked smile, we could style on 'em
(You're the one that was tryna keep me way down)
(But like the sun, I know you know I found my way back round...)
